41
Q

Step 5 & 6: Enteral Nutrition Rx

A
  1. Consider electrolytes needed 6. consider Vit & minerals needed. Consult DRI tables and any abnormal losses.
42
Q

Step 7: Enteral Nutrition Rx

A

Determine fluid needs. Bases on body wt or 1mL/kcal. Consider hydration status of pt.

43
Q

Step 8 Enteral Nutrition Rx

A

Establish administration & delivery method

44
Q

Step 9: Enteral Nutrition Rx

A

Write final enteral nutrition prescription: determine formula to use and at what rate it should be given. First determine how many mL will meet pt’s kcal needs. Second, verify that this meets PRO needs. Third, determine at what rate is should be administered.

45

A

10-50mL/hr, and then increases to goal rate.

46
Q

48
Q

Result of drop in phosphorous related to refeeding syndrome

A

hemolysis, impaired cardiac function, impaired respiratory function and even death.

49
Q

two-in-one PN solution

solutions that contain dextrose and AAs. Lipids must be given separately. Has the benefit of being clear so precipitate can been seen.

50
Q

three-in-one PN solution

A

solutions that contain dextrose, AAs, and lipids.

51
Q

In what form is PRO included in PN formulas

A

Included in parenteral nutrition in the form of individual AA.

52
Q

CHO source for PN?

A

dextrose monohydrate. 3.4kcal/g.

53
Q

Minimum amount of CHO needed to spare lean body mass?

A

100g CHO is needed /day for protein sparing. DRI = 130g/day. 1mg/kg/min

54
Q

Source of lipid in PN solutions?

A

soybean or safflower oil.

55
Q

Lipid emulsion in PN provides

A

Essential fatty acids, Vit K, as well as concentrated source of energy

56
Q

Step 1 & 2: Parenteral Nutrition Rx

A
  1. determine the dosing wt. 2. determine a kcal goal. (25kcal x wt (kg)) or Mifflin-St. Jeor
57
Q

Step 3: parenteral Nutrition Rx

A

Adjust kcal goal for activity and injury

58
Q

Step 4: Parenteral Nutrition Rx

A

Calculate a protein goal. 0.8g/kg - 1.5g/kg

59
Q

Step 5: Parenteral Nutrition Rx

A

Determine fluid requirements (provides a working V for the parenteral solution). 1mL/kg

60
Q

Step 6: Parenteral Nutrition Rx

A

Determine lipid concentration. Minimum lipid emulsion concentration is apx 3%, and the max that should be administered to the pt is 1.2g/kg.

61
Q

Step 7: Parenteral Nutrition Rx

A

Determine protein concentration. Divide PROg needs by total daily VmL and multiply by 100 = % AA solution

62
Q

Step 8: parenteral nutriton Rx

A

Determine g of dextrose to meet remaining energy requirements. Subtract kcal from PRO & lipid to determine remaining kcal need. Divide remaining kcal by 3.4kcal/g = g dextrose needed, then divide by total daily V x 100 to find % of dextrose for solution.

63
Q

Step 9: parenteral nutriton Rx

A

Consider electrolyte needs

64
Q

Step 10: parenteral nutrition Rx

A

Consider vitamin & mineral needs. Be sure to check package insert to be sure of what the pt is getting.

65
Q

Step 11: parenteral nutrition Rx

A

Write the final parenteral nutrition prescription. Includes g of PRO, lipid, dextrose; lists amounts of all Vit & minerals; lists total daily V, and how many mL/hr/day. Also goal rate /day.

66
Q

When is enteral nutrition indicated?

A

Impaired nutrient ingestion ex. stroke. Inability to consume adequate nutrition orally, ex. cancer, anorexia. Impaired digestion, absorption, metabolism, ex. Crohn’s. Severe wasting, impaired growth, ex. AIDS

67
Q

When is enteral nutrition indicated in children?

A

Unable to obtain >80% of caloric needs by mouth, or if require extended time period to eat >4 hours/day. Malnutrition of poor growth. Decrease of 2 or more wt or ht growth channels or persistent TSF <5%tile.

68
Q

How long before an adult should be put on enteral feeding?

A

7-14days with inadeequate oral intake, or if inadequate intake is expected over 7-14 days.

69
Q

What are clinical condition criteria for enteral feeding of a pt.

A

Pt must have bowel sounds - digestive & absorptive capabilities, be hemodynamically stable. Non-tender & soft abdomen

70
Q

Advantages of enteral feeding

A

Physiologic - the gut & liver metabolize and utilize nutrients more effectively via enteral vs parenteral route. Immunologic. Biochemical/metabolic. Safety. Cost. Early feeding modulating the stress response.

71
Q

Immunological role of ENS

A

GI tract is a major immunologic organ. Gut is a major source of immunoglobulins. Gut produces >70% of the body’s IgG. GALT is key component to mucosal barrier.

72
Q

Why is maintenance of the GI mucosa crucial?

A

Crucial to preventing atrophy & bacterial translocation.

73
Q

Bacterial translocation

A

ability of bacteria & endotoxins from the gut to migrate from the GI tract into the systemic circulation.

74
Q

What is prevention of bacterial translocation imperative in the critically ill pt?

A

BT is hypothesized to be a major etiologic factor contributing to infections & organ failure in critically ill patients.

75
Q

What is the most important stimulus for mucosal cell proliferation?

A

The presence of nutrients in the gut is the most important stimulus for mucosal cell proliferation.

76
Q

What are the main causes of gut mucosal cell atrophy?

A

malnutrition, prolonged NPO, TPN.

77
Q

What is the result of gut mucosal cell atrophy

A

Decreased enzyme & Ig production

78
Q

What are the gut’ primary fuels?

A

Glutamine and SCFA’s

79
Q

Glutamine

A

A non-essential amino acid that is the primary fuel for enterocytes.

80
Q

SCFA’s

A

Are produced in small amounts when dietary fiber is fermented in the colon, absorbed through the portal vein during lipid digestion: butyrate, propionate, acetate. Are the primary fuel for colonocytes.

81
Q

What factors are used to decide selection of enteral access?

A

Disease state. Aspiration risk. GI anatomy. Gastric & intestinal motility and function. Estimated length of therapy

82
Q

Nasoenteric

A

Nasogastric, nasoduodenal, nasojejeunal. Inserted at bedside.

83
Q

Advantages of nasoenteric tubes

A

Relatively easy to insert. Lrg. reservoir capacity in stomach. V, osmolality usually not a problem.

84
Q

Disadvantages of nasoenteric tubes

A

Increased risk of aspiration. Easily dislodged. Intended for short-term use <30 days.

85
Q

Orogastric tube is indicated when?

A

Pediatrics - does not obstruct nasal passage. <34 weeks gestation w/ gag reflex. Basilar skull fx. Nasal prong CPAP. Respiratory distress. Requires oxygen. Nasal trauma.

86
Q

Nasoduodenal advantages vs disadvantages?

A

Gastric emptying not a problem. Decreased risk of aspiration. Small intestine more sensitive to V and osmolality - >300mOml. Pump required for administration to control flow rate.

87
Q

What types of tubes are placed endoscopicly?

A

Gastrostomey (G-tube). Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Jejunostomy (PEJ). Utilized for long term provision ofenteral nutrition support (>30 days).

88
Q

Gastrostomy (G-tube)

A

Long term provision of enteral nutrition. Surgical procedure. Normal gastric function & anatomy required.

89
Q

PEG tube

A

percutaneously inserted after endoscopic guidance. Local anesthesia. Fewer complications & less costly than surgical gastrostomy. Ease of closure after removal of tube. Clog easily. Difficult in obese.

90
Q

Jejunostomy

A

Long term ENS anticipated. Increased potential for complications - tube occlusion due to smaller lumen size, GI intolerance.

91
Q

Types of jejunostomy:

A

needle catheter jejunostomy, PEJ

92
Q

Where do we find information about the ability to tolerate enteral feedings?

A

MD hx & physical. Current hospital course - surgical record, daily progress notes. RN abdominal assessment - bowel sounds. Intake/output - is bowel movement present?

93
Q

What to look for in inspection of the abdomen?

A

Skin changes. Symmetry. Contour - flat, rounded, etc. Observable masses. Movement - pulsations & peristalsis.

94
Q

Auscultation of abdomen

A

Normal bowel sounds occur 5-35 x per minute - sounds like high pitched gurgles. “standard practice” - cannot describe absent bowel sounds unless none noted for 5 minutes in each quadrant.

95
Q

Percussion of abdomen

A

Used to determine presence of fluid, distention, & masses. Higher pitched hollow sound - tympany - “normal”. presence of fluid or masses causes short high pitched sound with little resonance - “dullness”

96
Q

Is the practice of auscultation evidenced based?

A

No, but it is still a part of current abdominal assessment. Conflicting information on how to listen, as well as the significance of normal vs abnormal sounds

97
Q

When do we start feeding?

A

In pediatrics - immediately when hemodynamically stable. Adults: when feeding is expected to to last more than 5-7 days for malnourished, or 7-9 days for adequately nourished. 24-48 hours in critically ill.

98
Q

How long after PEG placement can feeding begin?

A

two hours.
